As soon as Erik reached the outskirts of London and started encountering some people, he slowed down. Before anyone noticed him, he folded his armour back into its armguard form, turned back to human form, and had Elora conjure some casual clothing on his body.
Then, he took off walking towards the Ashcroft estate.
He didn't try to hide his face, because he doubted there was a need. Perhaps the Council peacekeepers might recognize him from descriptions or some kind of recreated image from someone's memory using sigils, but these regular people wouldn't know him from Adam.
As he walked through the city, he looked around to see what the place looked like after another year of Council control, and he had to admit that it was improving.
Since he ran through a far more desolate London one year ago, the people now seemed happier, and the city cleaner.
